Story Shifters LLC

everyone should be the author of their own story. storytelling isn’t just something that happens in movies or books, but we all have our own story to tell. story shifters started as an opportunity to expose children of african descent to the many stories of people who look like them from all over the world. through reading clubs and other youth programming, story shifters aims to build not only children's literacy skills and historical knowledge but also their confidence to develop their own stories to share with their communities and broader. when people are given access to more than one perspective of history and societal standards, they have more agency to decide what they will believe about themselves and their community. story shifters uses a collection of culturally relevant children's literature to expand children's understanding of their capacity and value and that of others in their community.
